Matt's Awesome Quesadilla Recipe


My brother, Matt made these quesadillas for my daughters' birthday party last month and they were a HUGE hit. Additionally, I plan on bringing them to the law office "Mexican Party" next week. Kids and adults alike gobble them up.

Just chop up 3/4 of a small onion and sautee in oil until soft.
Add chopped red bell pepper and maybe a jalapeno halfway through. Add a little garlic if you feel like it. Also, throw in some frozen corn too.

In another pan, sautee your chicken. I prefer to use the chicken tenderloins. I like to season the chicken with a little Adobo (definitely), some chili powder, salt and pepper, and a touch of cumin. Don't overcook the chicken. Pull it while it's still moist and shred it with some forks. After this combide your vegetables and chicken and throw some chopped cilantro in there too.

There you have it...just melt some butter and brush it on one side of a tortilla and throw it face down in a skillet. On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle a little jack cheese down, add the chicken mixture and add some more cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over and flip when golden brown. These should be fine to warm up in the oven and keep covered in foil.
